    The Mortgage Crisis in the Tranches

    By Doctor Cleveland on Fri, 10/22/2010 - 8:38am | Politics, Business, Social Justice

    I've posted about the housing and mortgage crisis, and the impending dangers, here and here, but there's one additional problem that I hadn't got my head around when I wrote those posts. That's the tranche problem, which is likely to lead to all kinds of perverse incentives and unforeseen difficulties.

    William K. Wolfrum’s Morning: This is War

    By William K. Wolfrum on Fri, 10/22/2010 - 7:55am | Politics, Social Justice, World Affairs, Media

    Guess which side is winning this particular war?

    Wolfrum's Word

    You aren't supposed to talk about this, but the U.S. is seriously mired in Class Warfare, and has been for a long, long time. And the upper class is just plain kicking the crap out of the lower classes. Perhaps it's time to stop ignoring the raging war around us.

    Indonesian Travel Journal: Poverty or the Highs and Lows of Instant Gratification

    By Orlando on Fri, 10/22/2010 - 3:24am | Social Justice

    I didn’t have internet service at my house this week. There was nothing wrong with the service. I paid the bill and magical signals were coming through the cables hanging high up above the street. I say magical because I don’t understand the ins and outs of how I can sit down on my couch in Jakarta and communicate with people all over the world through invisible electrical impulses. What’s more, I don’t really care how it works, just that it does. And when it fails, I get the tiniest bit cranky.

    Big Dog Clinton in Baltimore

    By Donal on Thu, 10/21/2010 - 7:40pm | Politics

    I just returned from a rally on Federal Hill Park to reelect Governor Martin O'Malley and the MD Democratic ticket. The rally was advertised to start at 3:00 PM, but I got there about 4:30 and some fellow told me that only Kratovil, Kamenetz and a few others had spoken already.
